1997 Hyundai Lantra SE Sportswagon review from Australia and New Zealand
"A good value for money car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed a new cam belt at 100000km, (This is normal)
Surface rust around roof racks.
Other than that a great car to own.
General comments?
This car is a great medium sized wagon and is very stylish.
Also has good fuel economy, especially out on the highway.
A very good radio/cassette system.
Good power and pick-up with the 1.8 liter motor, over-drive helps a lot.
Very good and reliable for long distance driving.
Air conditing gets very cold, good for the hot summer days.
